Practical engineering, real partnership, and a relentless focus on results — for the technology companies and industrial operators who can't afford to get water treatment wrong.
At Conclusive, we provide practical and economical solutions that allow customers to unlock the potential in their operations, organizations, and industrial water treatment technology. We focus on delivering the best available technologies to optimize water treatment, water recovery, and resource recovery.
Conclusive works with technology companies to build and commercialize their products, and with end users to determine the best processes for their needs — bridging the gap between promising innovation and dependable field performance.
We take a practical approach to water treatment by finding the right balance between economics, ease of operation, energy consumption, and durability. We believe that effective communication and partnership are key to achieving success.
Deep characterization of your water chemistry, flow, variability, and project constraints. No assumptions — data first.
Technology screening, process modelling, and economic analysis. Multiple options evaluated against your success criteria.
Proof-of-concept testing and pilot campaigns to validate performance and reduce technical risk before capital commitment.
Full-scale engineering, procurement support, commissioning, and ongoing optimization. Conclusive results, every time.
We help technology developers move from promising lab results to commercial-scale, field-proven products — through piloting, process engineering, HSE program development, and go-to-market support for industrial end users.
For mining, oil & gas, and lithium operators, we provide independent technology evaluation, process design, and optimization — finding the right-fit solution for your specific water chemistry and economics.
A chemical engineer with over 20 years of specialized experience in industrial water treatment, water recovery, and resource recovery. Ian brings rare depth to every engagement — combining rigorous technical expertise with the pragmatic mindset of someone who has built, operated, and optimized real systems in demanding industrial environments.
With particular expertise in direct lithium extraction, oilfield produced water recycling, and mineral recovery from mine wastewaters, Ian has navigated the full spectrum — from early-stage technology development and piloting to large-scale commercial operations. His approach centres on finding the right balance between economics, operability, energy, and reliability for each unique challenge.
Whether you're evaluating new technology or troubleshooting an existing system, we're ready to engage.
